THE PREDICTION
Bayer Leverkusen finally brought their four-match winless Bundesliga run to an end last weekend with an impressive 1-2 triumph away at Borussia Monchengladbach. Gerardo Seoane will be hoping that the win acts as the catalyst for his side to go on a winning run in the race of Champions League football. In Augsburg, Leverkusen face a team who have failed to win in their last four, although three of those have ended in draws. The likelihood is that Augsburg will prioritise a solid defensive foundation here, making themselves difficult to break down. However, Leverkusen with the services of star striker Patrik Schick boast the quality going forward to ultimately overwhelm the visiting defence. Provided Seoane’s men can tighten up themselves defensively compared to recent home fixtures, then they should secure an important three points here.
